Handsome Wearables for the Holiday Season

Your holiday party agenda is coming together nicely. So far, you’ve committed to hosting one, attending
two and crashing three. Now, all that remains: strategically planning your wardrobe. Here, this should help.

FOR THE SUPPER CLUB SOIREE

A Handsome Three-Piece Suit

Black suits are great January through November. But this month calls for something special. Something like
this Italian wool three-piecer. It’s got that nonchalant pop of red that’s perfect for all occasions of
dressed-up holiday revelry/hiding red wine stains. It’s versatile, too. Lose the jacket, and you’re now
appropriately attired to bartend this thing.

A Plaid Pocket Square

Your coat pocket: a trusty receptacle for pens, valet stubs and theater tickets. But it’s party season,
which means now’s the time for style over substance. So here’s a festively colored plaid pocket square
to stick in that thing. It’s the discerning man’s Santa hat.

It’s a Handmade Hat

Hats are great this time of year. You can doff them in the direction of strangers. You can wear them when
you’re caroling. You can eat soup out of them. Okay, no, but still, pretty compelling case to own a hat.
Or better yet, have one custom-made. Your head deserves it.

A Proper Holiday Sweater

It’s unavoidable. At some point during the holidays, you’re required to wear a Christmas sweater. The
uglier, the better. So just embrace it, and track down the Vintagemobile, a roving green bus that’s got
hundreds to choose from. It’s okay if you spill a little schnapps on it.
